Jews attack Nazareth church

Two Jewish women, man manage to enter Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth disguised as pilgrims and proceed to throw detonators; number of worshippers lightly hurt while fleeing scene; one suspect beaten by crowd

A group of Jews, a man and two women, managed to enter the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth disguised as pilgrims while hiding detonators and gas tanks in a baby carriage.

They proceeded to throw the detonators inside the church, causing the Christian worshippers to flee the scene.

A number of people were lightly injured in the incident, while others suffered from shock.

Shortly thereafter hundreds of Nazareth residents arrived at the scene while chanting “death to Jews” and attacked the Jewish man, beating him severely and slamming his head in the ground.

One suspect was able to escape.

An initial police investigation has revealed that the three suspects are a married couple and their daughter who are known as extreme right-wing activists.

The three claim they arrived at the site to pray; large police forces dispatched from the entire Northern District apprehended the suspects and are attempting to rescue them from the area, while the crowd is preventing ambulances from entering the area.

Internal Minister Gideon Ezra, who happened to be in a nearby village during the incident, ordered police officers from all over the country to make their way to Nazareth.

“This is a severe incident. Police are trying to ease tensions along with the community leaders. I tried to speak with the mayor of Nazareth (Ramez Jerayssi), who is currently inside the church, and I will ask him to work to disperse the crowd and ease tensions,” he said.

'Police must deal with these crazy people'

The mayor of Nazareth and local Christian leaders entered the church compound in a bid to calm the crowd, while police forces have closed the area down.

Attorney Isam Abu-Nasser, who is at the scene, told Ynet “More than 1,000 people are here, asking to find out whether the Church of the Annunciation, one of the most important in the Christian world, was damaged. This is what concerns us at this point.”

Another witness said “we will demand that police deal with the crazy people responsible who carried out this act.”


Arab MK Mohammad Barakeh (Hadash) said the throwing of detonators inside the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth is “an attack by a group of Jewish terrorists from the extreme Right.”

“This act proves that terror groups of settlers and the extreme Right feel free to commit their crimes in the occupied territories and against the Arab population in Israel. The government and the police must capture these groups and stop treating them with kid gloves,” Barakeh said.

Public Security Minsiter Gideon Ezra said police efforts to extricate the three assailants were being prevented by the large crowd. Havivi was reportedly wounded in his head. A Magen David Adom ambulance crew was also unable to leave the church due to the angry mob.

At one point, the crowd attacked an ambulance, breaking windows and forcing it to turn away.

There seems to be conflicting reports over whether it was 2 or 3 people, and whether his wife was christian or jewish. But they're known to be active in extreme-right Israeli jewish groups.
 
There have been extremist Jewish groups for a long time, they just don't get the same attention. Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by right wing extremist Jews because of the Oslo Accords with Palestine, just like how Anwar Sadat was assassinated by Islamic Jihad when he made peace with Israel. There have been things like the Cave of the Patriarchs shooting that are marginalized and downplayed as being just one crazy guy acting completely alone. Much of their extremists were in the settlements that were ceded to Palestine, they only really existed as an Israeli land grab.

Both sides have sizable numbers of people who are simply not interested in peace. They want what they consider to be victory. They want the other side to either be completely destroyed, or completely subjugated. Israelis are often the victims of racism, but many are also guilty of their own racism against Arabs.

Palestine must have a functioning, legitimate government. The only solution to this problem is a two state solution. But that is in jeopardy from those on both sides who would prefer the Final Solution.
 
Actually I think there are only 2 people in the VS forum as a whole. Three right now because of me. Everyone else are just alts of the two people who have no common ground and thus cant have a civilized conversation about anything.

alonzo - Just some advice. TDH's series of "friends of AM23" posts have made him look like a jackass. I'd leave it at one thread to make the point.

I'm not making a point or anything, it's just a joke because I thought his suggestion was funny. It originally said "Israeli extremists attack church of the annunciation in Nazareth, leads to riots"

Fair enough, just don't want the board to descend into more ass-hattery than is already here (which is a lot).
